Self-Improvement How does one self-motivate? Are there two parts of us – one that is the motivator and the other which needs to be motivated? Why does research suggests that most so-called "normal" people do not achieve their goals, dreams and ambitions? Why do the majority of people continue to do work that they dislike? Why does the World Health Organization believe that stress will be such a big 21st. Century killer? If you’re "normal" and you’re worried and stressed, feeling unfulfilled at work, how can you actually motivate yourself? And what would you be motivating yourself for? Why bother? Lots of questions – but they all boil down to the key issue of the extent to which we need to be motivated – and that most of us are not! Even many of my own clients, who should know better, who own their own businesses and whose future is so much more in their own hands than the normal employee, tell me that they’re de-motivated, that they go into work knowing the key things that they have to do and yet they waste their time on doing things that they either shouldn’t be doing, or things that are downright destructive (like worrying about where new business will come from, like getting involved in the downward spiral of gossip about the economic environment, like gossiping about their competitors) – things that lead them away from their hopes and dreams. As a result, they end up more de-motivated than ever. But back to that one key issue – the need for self-motivation and, in particular, one of my very first questions above – who is doing the motivating and who needs to be motivated. Everyone needs to get a kick out of life – if at all possible, every day. Years of psychological and market research that most people only rarely experience any high in their lives and that, generally, it is short lived. As a result, the majority of us, so-called normal people, trudge through our regular routines wishing for and hoping for our next high – whether that’s looking forward to the weekend, the next night out or holiday. But in our ordinary everyday routine lives we are less than happy – less than fully motivated. The truth is that there are two parts of us – our inner pure energy and our personality – and these two internal elements are locked in battle. As a result, we strive for, hope for, wish for a better life, more success and happiness, but we actually trip ourselves up in the pursuit of our hopes and dreams. It is our personality – the part of us with which we are all so familiar – that holds us back, that stops us being fully motivated, that disables our true inner abilities to achieve great things, to live our ordinary lives extraordinarily. As I said, we’re all very familiar with our personality – our strengths, our faults and our failings. However, when my clients explore their self-perceptions, many of them find that they can actually recollect the first time in their lives when they actually felt a particular – perhaps of inadequacy, self-doubt, anxiety, fear, even self-loathing. That is because our current self-perceptions that make up our personality are merely a compilation of the events that stand out in our subconscious mind from our formative years, our childhood. Many years work indicates that we perceive ourselves to be who we think we are based on a series of "snapshots" taken whilst we were young and impressionable. In addition, years of research indicates that normal people are pre-disposed to being negative – both about themselves and their chances of success. Add all this together and you will realise that the perceived you – your personality – is a phantom-like creation of your subconscious mind. As it is created from events that most impressed you during your formative years, your personality simply could not be the real you. However, your personality feels very real – your self-doubts, your perceived inadequacies all manifest themselves in your daily life, in your behaviour and in what you get out of life. That is why you need to be motivated – and the bizarre thing is that the part of you that needs motivation (your personality) is the very same part of you that is preventing you being all that you can potentially be. You need to stop pandering to your personality. Ignore it (it might eventually go away!). By-pass it by focussing your attention in the here and now. In doing so, your subconscious mind’s obsession with your personality will begin to be broken. In focusing in the here and now, you will be less likely to waste your energy on the old, useless, self-defeating thoughts that regularly distract our minds from the task in hand, making the task in hand more difficult or frustrating. In paying attention to the present moment, in engrossing yourself in whatever you’re doing, you will be better at it, more absorbed, more effective, efficient, more likely to get the key things done that will lead you towards living that ordinary everyday life – extra-ordinarily. Recent research indicates that our ability to be happy and successful is correlated to our ability to pay attention to the here and now. It has nothing to do with self-motivation – because self-motivation involves pandering to a part of you that isn’t really there, your personality. Get over yourself, get on with the present moment – your true ability to achieve your dreams and desires will then emerge – effortlessly. Copyright (c) 2009 Willie Horton About the Author: 相关的主题文章：

UnCategorized Parents who understand the value of staying active, are much more proactive in encouraging their children to get moving. They are aware that, aside from its benefits to the health and fitness of a child, it also fosters physical development and establishing overall well being. If you are one of these parents, but are having trouble convincing your child to get up and get moving, you can use some of the important cues below to be more successful in motivating them. Using a less direct approach is best recommended to get results. Take the Lead Children often do not like being told what to do. However, they like to follow someone’s lead. Instead of telling them to get active, try doing it first and they will eventually follow. If they see you getting involved with physical and sports activities, whilst realizing how much fun you have while doing it, it will eventually pique their interest and motivate them to join you. After all, it would be more difficult to convince your child to stay active if you aren’t doing it yourself. Doing sports and other physical activities together will also help to foster your relationship. You can use this time to bond and spend good quality time together, whether it be just throwing or catching balls and other simple activities that involve physical movement. Establish the Right Condition You need to create an environment that will encourage your child to go out and do something physical! It does not mean that you have to spend a great deal of money to build your own sports complex or buy sports equipment for your home. You can take simple measures to get them to stay active. For instance, you can get them something that would encourage physical activity for their birthday. Some great ideas include balls, skipping rope, bats, and other items that would encourage them to do some physical activity. Make It Fun For Them Kids usually have this conception that "if it isn’t fun, then it is not worth doing". Thus, you need to let out your creativity and think of ways to make sports and physical activities fun for them. Plan your activies ahead for the weekdays and during the weekend. You can try out a new sport together. Or you can go on a holiday camp wherein you can explore with various outdoor physical activities. Even when inside your home, come up with exciting opportunities for indoor games and fun activities. The more your kids are having fun, the more they are motivated to stick with your planned activities and be able to reach your (and their!) goals. Long-Term Motivation Is Key It is easy to get an action plan started. The hardest part is to keep it going, especially for kids who are known to have a short attention span. You must therefore take sensible steps to keep your child’s active lifestyle ongoing to be able to sustain the benefits you are both currently experiencing. Here are some of the ways you can achieve that: a) Vary up the activity on a daily or weekly basis. It will keep your child from getting bored with doing the same activities over and over again, while also inciting their curiosity to do some exploration. b) Be flexible. Change your plans or activities depending on the season so that your child can stay active all year round. c) Support their choice of activity. Do not instill what you want for them but simply let them choose what sport or activity they want to engage in and give them full support for that. d) Offering rewards is the most effective way of motivating children to be active, but make sure the rewards you give them are also contributing to help them reach their goals.

Internet-Marketing CPA marketing, or cost per acquisition (action) marketing, is much like affiliate marketing has a few subtle differences. One, it’s adopted by big league .panies and Internet marketers. And two, the payouts can be awesome! The beauty of CPA offers is that there are usually two levels, leads and sales. The good CPA campaigns will offer some kind of a bonus if you provide a lead, and will pay out even more (sometimes a lot more) if you send a sale. One of my favorite CPA marketing offers to promote is InfusionSoft. With Infusionsoft, the offer is structured so that if I provide a lead I get paid $5. If I send a sale, I get paid $100. The beauty of that is Infusionsoft makes it easy. They provide a downloadable PDF that I can market to my list or my readers which really adds value to the sign up itself. That’s really the bottom line, providing value. There are all kinds of CPA networks out there. There is .mission Junction and LinkShare, two of the big dogs in the CPA marketing arena. Each of them have thousands of offers for you to choose from that you can promote on your site or in your e-mail marketing list. Quite a few of those pay top dollar for leads and sales. For example, some hosting .panies will pay as much as $100 if you send a new customer to them… And that’s right away! One of my favorite Internet marketing mentors is Mike Hill. He’s taught me a lot in terms of Internet marketing – but he .mands a hefty $25,000 a day for his time! Mike Hill has put together a program called CPA Tsunami (Sales Tsunami) which teaches you all about making money on cost per acquisition or CPA offers. The reason I made this video was to tell you about one of his supersecret Inter. marketing tactics called Value Trojans. What value Trojans are is a tiny, micro continuity type system that he employs directly after somebody signs up for one of his programs. In essence, it’s a sale after a sale but these particular offers are designed to keep you making money over the next 10 months or so. If you can offer these small Value Trojans to every person who signs up for your newsletter or product over the next year, pretty extraordinary revenue starts happening! About the Author: 相关的主题文章：

Sales I might be one of the few people who like setting goals. Fortunately, I have read people who set goals are much more apt to be successful than those who do not. I have studied how to set goals as part of my time management studies. From this study, I have found many different ways to set goals. I use multiple methods. One of the latest ones that I am working on is thinking about my leadership legacy. What inspired me to start thinking this way was a book called, Your Leadership Legacy by Robert Galford and Regina Fazio Maruca. Think where would you like to be at some future point. One way to do this is to write a document that says, I am now x years old and have accomplished the following things. I am at the following point in my life, etc. The more vivid the vision can be, the more likely, you will achieve it. Imagine how it will feel, what it will be like, how proud you are etc. I do this exercise at least two or three times a year as part of my goal setting. It is always interesting to look back at what I wrote at different times and how close I have come in many cases to what I envisioned. Sometimes I fall short but many times, where I end up far exceeds what I thought. I am now adding a section to that on what is the legacy that I leave behind in the various projects that I was involved in? What will the culture be? How will the decisions be made? What will the impact be on the organization as a result of my being involved in it? I am not thinking of what people will think of me, rather how will the business sustain itself? How will the business be successful and what parts of that have I helped put in place and have I put the right parts of it in place to be successful? Thinking in terms of legacy can change current thinking. It helps me to focus on what is truly important. About the Author: Jim Estill is the CEO of SYNNEX Canada.

It wont be wrong to say that a police officer generally acts as a law enforcement agent and their prime job is to protect the peace, life and property of society people. Apart from this, the career even offers tremendous opportunities to handle different responsibilities and work as: Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff: Working as a deputy sheriff, the duty of a police officer may involve enforcing the law on the county level. Sheriffs are elected to their posts and perform similar duties to those of a local or county police chief. Urban Police Officer: An urban police officer generally follows general law enforcement duties including maintaining regular patrols (in a specific area) and responding to calls for help. State Police Officer: A state police officer is generally known as a highway patrol officer and their key responsibility is arresting criminals state-wide and patrol highways to enforce motor vehicle laws and regulations .e in their list of work. In addition to all these, after working as a police officer for a while an individual can also try to get promoted to another rank such as a detective. This is yet another interesting position where individual requires more analyzing and crime solving skills. It is their prime responsibility to interview and cross-examine suspects and gather clues to solve a crime.

Taking up a job as a police officer an individual must meet some of the basic educational qualifications and need collage credits. A police officer needs a high school diploma or its equivalent. Although, getting a higher education degree is usually not required, but acquiring an associate’s degree (2-year degree) or a bachelor’s degree (4-year degree) is highly re.mended by many law enforcement agencies. Now once an individual gets accepted by a law enforcement agency, he or she receives 12 to 14 weeks of training in a police academy. The training basically includes classroom instruction in constitutional law and civil rights, local ordinances, state laws and accident investigation. Adding to all this, at times the criminal justice courses can be very helpful to an individual who wish to work as one of the city’s dedicated law enforcement agents. In fact, these days many agencies pay all or part of the tuition for officers to earn a degree in criminal justice or justice administration. Certainly, today the career prospect for a police officer is surely very good and in next few years many job openings are going to boom. If you have the qualities required being a police officer and wanting a decent paying job, getting a proper training and education can be one of the finest ways to make a career in this profession.

Finance Investment advice is usually geared toward those with thousands, or at least $1,000 to invest, in addition to the standard three-to-six-months salary socked away in a savings account. Most of us know how important it is to supplement our retirement with additional investment in traditional taxable investment accounts. Simply maxing out your IRA contributions and putting away 6% of your paycheck into the employer’s 401(k) just may not do it, but not everyone has the thousands that most investment advice requires.Here is a plan developed with the ultra-small investor in mind. It takes just $100, every month for a year. Should You Invest? First, it is important to prioritize your financial concerns. If you have high-interest credit card debt, do not invest until you are debt free. While it is possible to make more money investing than you are losing on finance charges, it is highly unlikely. Your money is best spent lowering credit card balances. Also, if you have no cash savings, you should consider putting this plan off until you have savings equal to at least three months’ salary. Finally, if you would be devastated if you lost all of the money you invested, you should probably stay away from directly investing. While not likely if you are conservative, it is possible to lose all or some of the money you invest, no matter what the security. Start Investing With Just $100 1. Open a brokerage account with a low-cost online broker. It’s important that you’re not paying more than $5 per trade, because that’s money that will be coming out of your investment. Also, make sure that the broker you choose has no minimum account balance, or fees will eat up your entire balance. For more about discount stock brokers you can visit our broker comparison chart. 2. Fund your account. This is where you send your first $100 to the broker via check, wire transfer, or ACH transfer. I recommend ACH transfer, which is like an electronic check, because a check will take a few weeks to process and a wire transfer is too costly for investing such a small amount. 3. Make your first investment. What you invest in is, of course very important, and professional investment advice is too expensive if you’re only investing $100. But studies have shown that the best returns come from widely diverse portfolios. Now, you can’t easily have a widely diverse portfolio with $100, since that won’t even get you one share of Google (GOOG) or Toyota (TM). But Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) make it easy to invest a small amount of money in a wide variety of securities, because they are shares in a larger pool of securities. The Vanguard Total Stock Market VIPER (VTI) tracks over 6,000 U.S. stocks, and it’s like investing your first $100 in the entire U.S. stock market. The iShares MSCI-EAFE (EFA) invests in stocks from Europe, Australia and Asia. The iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond (AGG) tracks the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and it’s like investing your $100 in the entire bond market. If, after three months, you have put $100 into each of these funds, you will have a well-diversified portfolio that should withstand most of the market’s fluctuations. Losses in any particular sector of the stock market should be offset by gains in other areas of the market. Add to it each month, never investing less than $100 at a time, and you should see the value of your account grow just as the stock market does. There are many ETFs to choose from and they are getting more diverse, including junk bond and commodities funds. Personally I would stay away from them until there’s at least $1,000 in stock and traditional bond ETFs, since the majority of your portfolio should include traditional investments, not alternative investments. As you watch your investment grow (and then pull back, and then grow again) you should learn more about asset allocation and portfolio diversification, which are the keys to investment success. The more diverse your investments, the more you will be able to withstand volatile markets when stocks dip. Finally, when the total value of your investment reaches $10,000, you should consider seeking professional investment advice and transferring your holdings to traditional mutual funds, which are a bit easier to manage, but typically have higher investment minimums.
